Defoe's letter to Sven Eriksson



Jermaine Defoe has been really concern recently as the selection for
the England World Cup squad draws closer. Defoe knows that he has not
been playing regularly for Spurs and he is behind Rooney, Owen and even
Peter Crouch in the list. He feels that it is time to write to England
Manager, Sven Eriksson to personally plead for a spot in the squad. And
here is how the letter goes.
++++++++++++++

Dear Sven,

I am writing to you to request that you seriously look into my
inclusion in the England squad for the World Cup in Germany. Although,
you may not have seen me appearing regularly for my club - Tottenham,
the truth is I have been playing a lot; during training though.

Jol(Spurs's Manager) has given me a lot of praises and he thinks that
with my pace, I can leave any defence behind, eating my dust. He wants
me to make the sound,"beep, beep" like the roadrunner cartoon. He says
that by doing so, it will boost my pace by between 10% to 20%. Of
course, I did not do it because I think it is simply ridiculous.

So, I hope you do consider me for the squad base on my performance for
England and not Spurs.

Your faithful player
Defoe

After reading the letter, Sven did reply a very short letter to Defoe

Dear Defoe,

I was the one who has came up with the idea of the "Beep, beep" sound.

Your beep*beep Manager
Sven
